An intimate relationship: Ca2+ and cardiac ion channels.
We last offered our ideas on the role of reverse EC coupling in the initiation of arrhythmias in 2001.1 At that time we emphasized that spurious Ca release or oscillations in Ca levels could serve as possible triggers for arrhythmias. Since then much has been done to confirm this role for intracellular Ca . At that time we did not discuss the role of Ca cycling in the maintenance or conversion ...
متن کاملCatecholamines and development of cardiac pacemaking: an intrinsically intimate relationship.
A generation ago, a melding of imagination and experimental evidence led to the hypothesis that catecholamines were essential in establishing basal cardiac pacemaking rhythm. Subsequent discoveries of depolarizing "pacemaker" currents and viable adult catecholamine-deficient animals raised serious doubts about the necessity of catecholamines in pacemaking. However, the findings that catecholami...
متن کاملIntegrins and Cell Metabolism: An Intimate Relationship Impacting Cancer
Integrins are important regulators of cell survival, proliferation, adhesion and migration. Once activated, integrins establish a regulated link between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton. Integrins have well-established functions in cancer, such as in controlling cell survival by engagement of many specific intracellular signaling pathways and in facilitating metastasis. Integrins a...
متن کاملThe emotional brain and sleep: an intimate relationship.
Research findings confirm our own experiences in life where daytime events and especially emotionally stressful events have an impact on sleep quality and well-being. Obviously, daytime emotional stress may have a differentiated effect on sleep by influencing sleep physiology and dream patterns, dream content and the emotion within a dream, although its exact role is still unclear. Other effect...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori and gastric acid: an intimate and reciprocal relationship
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is the main cause of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. There are still unanswered questions related to the interaction between Hp and man, like what determines the susceptibility for the initial infection and the mechanisms for the carcinogenic effect. The initial infection seems to require a temporal gastric hypoacidity. For Hp to survive in the gastr...
